That's a pretty cool bench! Hope the tree didn't hurt too much ^_^;
@minismallholding seems to think I know more than I do about the art communities XD The two I help moderate are OnChainArt and ArtBees.
OCA is aiming to be high level ArtStation style quality so has a lot of rules (that I really wish people would read first as it would make my life a lot easier XD).
ArtBees is a bit dead as we didn't do any promo work on it whatsoever, but it's otherwise all about fun and engagement and nothing about upvotes (though those still happen) or perceived ability.
There is also Sketchbook and Alien Art Hive, I know Sketchbook exists and is popular and nothing else. Alien Art Hive seems more geared towards art that snobs disregard as "not real art" but I've seen plenty of other things posted there too.
To join a community go to the community page and subscribe to it. This should then make it available to post in from the form where you make posts, there will be a thing that says "post to my blog" or something to that effect, and you should be able to drop it down and choose a community instead.
You're welcome to join any or all of them :)
I know you know more than me about them and that's got to be a better start than I can give!
The drop down menu for subscribed communities isn't there on Hive.blog, only Peakd I think. Not sure about the other front-ends... or should Peakd be the only one that exists? 😉
Lots of specialist front ends (on a per community basis for example) is good XD catchall ones like hive.blog and peakd will just have to do what they can to be attractive.
Looks like you have to post from the community page on hive.blog.
what a nuisance XDYes, you do and yes it is. Hence why I sometimes forget to post the HomeEdders curation in there. Easier to keep the account logged in on a separate front-end, though.
